GUIDES
 Our guides continuously monitor the weather
conditions and evaluate the snow stability in an
effort to minimize hazards. They choose suitable
skiing areas based on these evaluations and the
groups' skiing ability. |
| |
 |
In addition, together with
other leading Heli-Skiing companies in British
Columbia, we sponsor an ongoing avalanche research
project with the University of Calgary.
| |
|
| In spite of
our best efforts, there are inherent risks and hazards
associated with Heli-Skiing that are beyond our control
and that you must share with us. It is therefore
important to follow the directions of your guides at all
times.
|
|
|
|
| Our
guests enjoy the comfort and reliability of11 passenger, jet-powered,. For smaller
private groups we also use jet-powered
helicopters. Our pilots are chosen to
meet the same high standards as our guides, and have a wealth
of experience flying in the mountains. Helicopter maintenance
is provided by our on-site team of engineers.
|
 |
Continuous radio
contact between the pilots, guides and the lodge
ensure a fast response in the event of an
emergency. The guides carry emergency equipment in
their packs, additional equipment is carried in
the helicopters, and there are several rescue
caches within our ski area. If needed, two
hospitals and additional helicopter bases are
within 30 minutes flying time.
| |
| If an
evacuation by helicopter is needed in case of an
accident, the costs are at your expense. Heli-evacuation
insurance is available for 6$ CDN per day and will cover
you in the event that you need a heli-evacuation from
the location of injury back to the lodge. Please ensure
that your regular medical insurance covers
transportation by helicopter or ambulance from our lodge
to the nearest hospital. |
